The T2 preparation time (TE) was 60 ms. Parallel imaging (rate 2) was used and 8 respiratory motion corrected images were obtained per acquisition.

†

The T2* protocol acquired 16 echoes with echo spacing 2.32 ms, with a minimum echo time of 1.58 ms and a maximum echo time of 36.38 ms (4 phase encodes were acquired per RR with 154 ms imaging duration). The PSIR FLASH had 25 views per segment.

Abbreviations: EGE = early gadolinium enhanced MRI; FISP = fast imaging in steady state precession; LGE = late gadolinium enhanced MRI; MVO = microvascular obstruction; SSFP = steady state free precession; PSIR = segmented phase-sensitive inversion recovery; turbo FLASH = fast low-angle shot.
